About Fresh Eyes For Your Home
Joanna Cohlan is the founder and owner of Fresh Eyes For Your Home. She holds a BS in Psychology from Boston University, an MBA from Babson College, and was trained in interior decorating at SUNY/FIT. She is also an accredited staging professional (ASP), a member of IAHSP, and a former member of the Interior Refiner's Network (IRN).
Fresh Eyes For Your Home is a full service interior decorating consultancy, and Joanna works with her clients to express their own taste and make their own personal statements. Service is Joanna's mantra, and she excels at "reading a room," helping clients who are overwhelmed by the many design options out there to make the right choices for them, saving money in the process. For some, Joanna begins with a blank canvas, creating a room from nothing. For others, she uses what they already have: editing, refining, repurposing and redefining. This may be as simple as changing the color of just one wall to accentuate a particular architectural detail, or transforming an old dresser into a vanity for the master bath. And for those who are contemplating selling, Fresh Eyes For Your Home will transform that home back into a house, ready for the market and "best in its class." Joanna Cohlan has extensive experience working in every style and in every room, including kitchens and baths. She particularly loves an open and challenging floor plan, but she has never met a tudor or colonial that she hasn't liked.
"My passion is to create environments that are functional, comfortable and beautiful - real rooms for real people. These environments become even more exceptional because they are expressions of artistic vision, inspired by global travel, and grounded by formal training. I specialize in unusual pairings of styles, colors and textures to create dramatic, yet cohesive and livable spaces. This is done by elevating taste, not budget, and by listening to my clients' needs and preferences so they are confident in their choices and delighted with the results."
